The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Country - Quezhou - Yaolou

Ye Ling was full of food and wine. He wiped his mouth and stood up. "Thank you, Your Highness, King Wen, for your hospitality. Wait for my good news! Black Hawk, right? See you next time."

Watching the person walking down the stairs, Black Hawk knelt down again and said in confusion: "Your Highness, I really didn't feel her at all. When did she come? I was on the rooftop!"

"Get up! There are mountains beyond mountains, there are heavens beyond heavens, and there are people beyond people. This girl is really unusual. I didn't feel anything, and she was already behind me. She also knocked out two people who knew martial arts in an instant. It seems that I have found the right ally. Only by joining forces can we win," Nangong Che said softly.

"It's reasonable for Gu Feixiang to need her to show up, but she may not be able to help the cavalry army. We can't lure Yao Qi and Zu Wang out," said Black Hawk.

"Because the cavalry army is here, Quezhou has the most secret lines and villages. The emperor, Nangong Chen, and Nangong Xuan have all sent people to guard here to varying degrees. So I have to be very careful and some things are inconvenient to do. But Ye Ling is different. She is very free and has the Langya Pavilion to rely on. Maybe it will be easier for her than for us," Nangong Che said slowly.

Black Hawk nodded and said, "You're right. There are more than a dozen people stalking this medicine building. If we make any big moves, they'll notice."

"No matter what, we must kill Yao Qi and Zu Wang this time, and we must also weaken the Hussar Army. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no chance again. I have a feeling that the capital must have undergone a major change. Perhaps our chance will come back soon."

"I understand. I'll have everyone prepared. Once Yao Qi and Zu Wang are dead, Xu Liang can find a way to get the poison into the army camp. By then, when the plague is rampant and more than half of the army has died, we can stop. Then our purpose will be achieved."

"Yao Qi was quite cautious. As soon as the plague broke out, he immediately ordered the military camp to be sealed off, not allowing anyone to leave."

"Your Highness, how about you do as I say? I will go into the barracks and kill them both." Black Hawk wanted to cut the Gordian knot.

"Nonsense, if you go in and kill them, the emperor will definitely know that someone is trying to attack him. Then I happen to be here, what do you think he will think? His first reaction will definitely be to immediately issue an order to let the cavalry army move closer to the capital. Then our plan will fail. Therefore, the death of these two people must be reasonable and natural," said Nangong Che.

"Yes, I was reckless, but it's probably not easy to make their deaths legitimate! First of all, the Quezhou governor is going to be a tough nut to crack. He'll definitely conduct an autopsy and investigate the case himself. I can't do anything about such a demanding task."

"Just do as Ye Ling said and deal with Gu Feixiang first. The three giants of Quezhou, Gu Feixiang, Yao Qi, and the prefect Hou Bing, are all the emperor's confidants. They are jointly guarding the cavalry army. It will be easier if we take down one of them first."

"Hiss~" Xianghui finally woke up, holding his neck: "Something pricked me just now? I lost consciousness as soon as I felt the pain."

"Go back and get thirty lashes," Black Hawk said coldly.

"Yes" Xianghui didn't dare to refute.

Ye Ling left the pharmacy and came to a restaurant that had just reopened for business. He ordered a few dishes to take away, then found a deserted spot and entered the space: "Jiuyou, you must be starving? Come on, come on, here are all your favorite dishes!"

Jiuyou looked at the dishes on the table. Finally, someone cared about whether he was hungry and knew what he liked to eat. He smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I'm not very hungry yet."

"Nonsense! How can a grown man not be hungry if he hasn't even had breakfast? Sit down and eat quickly. Are four steamed buns enough? They say this soup is their specialty and delicious."

Jiuyou was as happy as a little kid. Although he didn't like to laugh, the smile on his face never left at this moment. He thought each dish was more delicious than the other.

Ye Ling sat on the sofa to rest. Meng Meng teleported over with a cup of tea: "Master, drink some tea to help digest your food. You've eaten too much. Be careful not to get fat."

"What's wrong with being a little fat? Women look better with a little meat on them, and that's not called fat, that's called... round, sexy, graceful and elegant," Ye Ling retorted.

"You're right, okay?" Meng Meng muttered, "You can't control your mouth. You have so many excuses. I, a sprite, can't even argue with you."

"You have a small brain, you know nothing"

"Hmph!" Meng Meng pouted, flew to Jiuyou's shoulder and landed, looking at Jiuyou with a wronged look on her face: "Master is unreasonable."

Jiuyou didn't respond to Mengmeng's words, but instead asked, "Senior Sister, there's something I don't understand. Black Hawk's martial arts skills are on par with yours. It would be easy for him to find a way to kill the two generals. Why did King Wen say it wasn't easy?"

"Killing is easy, but killing without arousing suspicion is not easy. These two people are closely linked to each other, so their deaths must be reasonable and there can't be any mistakes. At least we have to hide it from the prefect, otherwise it will be very troublesome. If the emperor finds out something is wrong, he will definitely take action immediately. Nangong Che is not fully prepared, so we have to move forward carefully," Ye Ling explained.

“It turns out to be so troublesome”

"That's not true. That's why we are all cautious. Even if we are helping, we can't expose ourselves. The best way is to be an outsider."

"Your fight with Gu Feixiang is not a party dispute."

"That's for sure. I'm playing in a ranked match, so I'm here above board. Oh, Mengmeng, I forgot to ask you something. You said Susu would feel like she was dreaming when she woke up. What do you mean?"

"Actually, it's not a dream. Have you heard of blackouts? She will feel like she has lost track of this period of time and can't remember anything," Mengmeng replied.

Ye Ling nodded: "Then we can't just let her lie there all the time! Otherwise, how can we explain what happened in the past month?"

"Master, you can let her wake up normally, and just make her unconscious at the critical moment."

"That's right, let's see tomorrow."

Ye Ling rested for a while and then left the space. There was nothing else to do, so she went straight back to Tianlaike. It was still early, so she could only stare blankly. When she was really bored, she would go into the space.

"The master is here" Mengmeng landed in her nest.

"Where is Jiuyou?" Ye Ling asked

Utility Room

"Let him come to the training room, I will teach him another ten moves of the Jade Snow Thirty-Six Swords." After saying this, Ye Ling walked towards the training room first, took out two swords and practiced his swordsmanship.

Jiuyou hurried in with a sword in hand. Seeing that Ye Ling's swordsmanship had improved again, he felt incredible!

"Here it comes." Ye Ling put away the knife and used his internal force to absorb Jiuyou's sword: "Watch carefully," and then began to dance with the sword.

Jiuyou didn't dare to blink and watched every move carefully.

After a moment, Ye Ling put away his sword and said, "How about you try it once? There's no need to ask me to correct you."

"Okay." Jiuyou took the sword and memorized the good moves.

Ye Ling watched from the side and nodded slightly: "The movements are basically correct, but the momentum is lacking. This sword technique emphasizes the combination of hardness and softness. Your strength is too rigid and has not reached the level of free control."

Jiuyou humbly accepted the instruction and began practicing again. This time, he tried to adjust his breathing and power, striving to reach the state that Ye Ling had described.

After several attempts, Jiuyou finally found the feeling, and the power of his swordsmanship also increased.

Ye Ling smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, you have mastered the key points. From now on, as long as you practice more, you will be able to use the first twenty moves with ease."

Jiuyou looked at Ye Ling with gratitude and secretly made up his mind to work hard to master this sword technique.

"Let's stop here today. You are tired, so go to bed early. I will sleep in the space, where it will be safe and secure," said Ye Ling.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior sister." Jiuyou saluted Ye Ling with a fist.

"There's no need for us to be so distant. If you practice this sword technique diligently, you will definitely gain something."

"Yes." Jiuyou did not go to sleep. He continued to practice the moves he had just made. After practicing, he went to the utility room and started carving his handicraft again.

When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, the Guiren Pavilion is the busiest, and Youminglang is leisurely soaking in the bathtub.

Xi Jun was reporting the situation to him: "Gu Feixiang will probably only be able to fight Ye Ling in the next day or two, but Yao Qi and Zu Wang are more difficult to deal with. They almost never come to Quezhou, and now with the plague, it's even more impossible. So killing them won't be easy, even... a bit impossible. Because no matter how good your martial arts are, you wouldn't dare go to the cavalry camp and kill people, right?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now. What's the situation in the building?" Youminglang spoke slowly.

"When my subordinates arrived, they immediately imprisoned the former manager and replaced him with one of our own. This person is extremely treacherous. He takes almost half of the annual income for himself, and the accounts he submits to the higher-ups are all fake."

"Let's examine them carefully. These people in charge were carefully selected by us. Why did such a rat appear?"

"Yes, I understand. By the way, Ye Ling lives in Tianlaike. She came into the city yesterday evening, and Cai Yang went to see her the first thing she did. Is it dangerous for her to live there?"

"She chose the place herself, so it can't be wrong. Among the three Thousand Envoys of the Renzi Hall, Cai Yang is the most powerful. He can even appear in Quezhou... It seems that Senior Feng and the old Pavilion Master still want to keep the girl as an Envoy. At least she has a place to stay and won't be wandering around for the rest of her life."

"Master seems to want Ye Ling to be the envoy of this Human Hall?"

"This is a good position. It has a say and manpower. Moreover, Mo Yufeng is by her side and will remind her not to be too rash. What others say doesn't matter. The most important thing is the attitude of the three thousand envoys of the Renzi Hall."

"They?" The pigeon beside him spoke up, "Master, all along the way, Zhuang Yi and Bi Cheng have been absolutely respectful to Miss Ye. They treat her like a servant and obey her every word."

Xi Jun pondered for a moment. "So, the other two have already surrendered. Cai Yang is well-known for his arrogance and disdain for everyone. He's said to be the most difficult person to talk to in Langya Pavilion. So, the fact that he went to meet Ye Ling first suggests... he's unlikely to oppose her appointment."

"Could Elder Pavilion Master Su and Senior Feng let a girl become Pavilion Master inexplicably? This matter must have been consulted with the three Sishi of Renzitang in advance. Otherwise, if the girl takes office and any of the three of them disobeys, it will be a huge trouble. Well, this is other people's business. I am tired of traveling recently, so I will rest tonight." Youminglang was very happy.

"Yes," Jun and the pigeon said in unison.
